haVi Brooks then drew a revolver, and
fired at Morton, the ball striking the shoulder-blade,
and glancing off without doing
muck injury. The latter, who was un
armed, then threw a chair at his antagonist,
when Brooks attempted to fire a second
time, but his pistol missed fire.
A large crowd gathered around, and a
determination was expressed to hang Brooks
if lie did not leave in twenty-four hours.
The excitement, however, subsided. The
cause of the affray commenced with a pub
lication by the editor of the Whig, in ref
erence to Brooks' management of the Post
Office.' The Intter retaliated by publishing
Mo'rton as a liar," "scoundrel" and "pup

It is' with much pleasure thut we can
record the following result of this subject:
Namely, that the report made by Dr.
Cox,1, from lno Committee on Bills and
Overtures, countenancing the monstious
idea that a man may properly contract
marriage with his own sister's daughter,
was rejected by nearly unanimous vote, and
that- the proposition was condemned as
contrary to the teachings of the Seriptures,
" and' incestuous.

Pacific Expedition. The expedition under
Commander Ringgold, U. S. Navy, for the ex
ploration and survey of the China and Japan
Seas. North Pacific Uneun, sailed from Norfolk
n the 30th ult. for its destination. It is sun-
posed that the expedition will proceed with de
spatch to the East Indies, via Cane of Good Hope,
touching at the Cape de Verde Isles for water,
and rendezvous at Batavia, preparatory to a care
fill reconnoissance of portions of the lower part
of the Chinese Seas. This (says the Union) is
an important enterprise one worthy of the gov
ernment, and from which valuable results may
be anticipated. Expeditions of this kind suit
the taste and genius of our people, and form good
schools for young officers.
The Qii.xese Rebellion. Tho intelligence
we receive from China, while it adds but little
to the information recently laid before the read
ers of this journal, confirms in all respects the
apprehensions we ventured to express concern
ing tins remarkable rebellion. It does not, in
deed, seem to be definitely known that Nankin
had fallen, as was lately reported, into the liands
of the insurgents; but, if this event has not ac
tually occurred, it is in the highest decree pro
bable. No doubt exists respecting the progress
of the rebel army, and though many particulars
of this revolution are unfortunately obscure, we
know ror certain that the .insurgents have tra
versed the empire from the southwest to the
northwest; that they have hitherto repulsed the
Royal troops, thut they have either captured, or
are on the point of capturing Nankin, that they
are menacing Pekin with a similar fate, and thut
according to ail computable chances, they will
succeed thus far in subverting the Government
of China, London Times, May 17.
There are more females who have learned to
set type, in various parts of the Union, than may
be supposed. The editor of the Mountain Ban
ner, a North Carolina paper, says, that during
his absence, his wife had set the type for four
columns of his paper, prtpared copy, read the
proofs, onU wrote some some editorials. A help
mate, indeed, and she was much better employed
than if engaged in making stump speeches at
conventions, among "strong minded" women.

who, appears to us, have left for parts un- misery by V;

Bonnets. From the Home Journal we take
something for the head-ificalion of the ladies :
Bonnets without fronts we are used to; but
the lusf Parisian novelty is a bonnet without a
crojjn! "These .bonnets," says Paris letter,
"have three great qualities light as a feather,
transparent as gauze, and hanging on the head
like a Neapolitan plateau. This bonnet is an as
semblage of flowers, riisbons and lace; a point of
taffetas, richly embroidered, serves as a support
to a deep black lace, embroidered in large dots
with straw, which shades the knot of plaited
hair which falls on the rape of the neck. We
have said 'bonnets without crown;' are we sure
they have any front? We can scarcely say; if
the narrow black lace which edges it, and play
fully falls on the forehead a:id gracefully encir
cles the face, it the only front we certainly
dure not give this eoiffeure the name of bonnet.
On each side, bunches of flowers, as well at the
broad strings, complete the harmony. The de
signs are embroidered to match the plateau.
This bonnet requires particular attention in the
dressing of the hair. The summit of the head
must be left free, and the hair arranged quite
low. These bonnets are destined to create a I
sensatisn in the fashionable world; but only the
very pretty and the very young dare adopt tl.it
novelty."
On lust Wednesday, says the Indianapolis
Sentinel, an old man, one of the inmates of the
county poor hoHse, while engaged in scuffle
with Henry Hoagland, an idiotic pauper, was
bitten by him on the little finger of the left hand.
The wound was but slight, but inflammation
commenced and the man beeame delirious, und
died on Sunday moring, eidenlly from the poi
son communicated to his system by the bite on
his linger. 1 his is a most singular case.
a or&L mr&DE&xn by her own father.
William Robinson and his wife were
both in the habit of getting drunk, when
they would tight each other like dogs, and
then they would be taken up by the police.
Several months since they left here, mov
ing to Mississippi, near Hernando. Since
then they have separated the wife, divi
ding some negroes among herchildren, who
were to remain with their father. A few
weeks since Robinson sold a negro belong
ing to his eldest daughter, a girl of seme
fourteen or fifteen years of age, to which
she objected, and by some means the old
mac was arrested and put in jail at Her
nando. During the past week he had been
liberated from custody, and allowed to re
turn to his children.
On Wednesday last lie again sold his
daughters negro, and the purchaser came
to take his property away, when she still
refused to give the negro up. In a fit of
anger he took his gun and fired at her,
lodging the contents in her body, inflicting
a moral wound. The girl lived in great
bodily pain and suffering until the next
when she was relieved from her
e baud of death. Memphis
